I tried one of these kinds of things before, and it cluttered my contact lists with all these newsletter emails, customer service responses, and other junk. Do you do anything to only add actual people to Google Contacts rather than all these info@ and newsletter@ emails?
@dberkowitz Yes, we do. We use Gmail's built-in classification to only add signatures for contacts that are relevant. Plus it won't create new contacts if there's no signature. And finally, there's an undo button in case anything might not have been 100% up to your expectations.
@dberkowitz And my colleagues tell me we also filter out email addresses like info@ and newsletter@ etc. π
@tlazay Hi Tom!
Signature looks for email signatures in your Gmail inbox. In these signatures it detects phone numbers, addresses, positions/roles, company names, social profile URLs, and of course email addresses and names.
It then adds this info to your Google Contacts to enrich them, fully automatically.
In Signature you can see what's updated and undo in case you don't like some update.
If you get 3 friends to sign up, Signature will not only import signatures for your new emails, but also go a full year back to update everything.
@jeroen_corthout Thanks for explanation- I meant to ask the question from a privacy and data protection perspective so I'm wondering (1) whether or not your servers keep copies of any message content or contact info after the contact record is created (e.g- if you get hacked, is my email content or contact list at risk of getting exposed) and (2) whether or not your business model includes selling any kind of analytics to 3rd parties based on my mail habits or the text in my gmail content. Thanks!
@ryan_walker2 Hey Ryan! Google keeps asking us more info for verification. We keep providing. It's a pain but we'll send you an email when it's all done!
@tlazay Got it!
(1) No, we don't keep anything on our servers. We just pick up data from Gmail, process it, and then save the data in Google Contacts. Nothing remains with us. We only need to keep a connection with Google going.
(2) Nope. This is only meant to attract more eyeballs to Salesflare itself. At Salesflare we provide a simple yet powerful CRM that automates your customer data so that you can build better relationships and make more sales. One of these features is auto-importing email signatures, which we spinned off here, 100% for free.
First off, thank you to @kwdinc for hunting Signature!! π
We're very excited to launch this tool to you Product Hunters today.
This project started out of a desire to further automate users' email experiencesβour goal at Salesflare is to reduce manual data entry so that people can spend more time building relationships.
Signature is a big step toward this goal, as it will allow anyone using Gmail to avoid spending time doing things that machines can easily do for them.
We're overwhelmed with the support we've received ahead of this launch. We had thousands of people join the waitlist, and we're excited to see what everyone thinks of the tool!
Remember: if you sign up for our waitlist and invite three friends, all four of you skip the line and get access to the tool automatically. β¨
Plus: for those of you who have gained access to the tool, we have an exciting bonus feature available if you invite three additional friends - you can do this within Signature π
Feel free to leave feedback or questions in the comments belowβwe'll be hanging out here today to chat more about Signature!
Nice, thanks for making it happen.
P.S. nice example of referral campaign as well
Really like using Salesflare and it is another new addition to the great software π
Really handy for getting contact details. Manual entry is gone.
Pros:Really handy for getting contact details
Cons:Nothing at the moment
Contacts are broken and especially because of the weird duality between your Gmail archive and your actual Google Contacts list. This fixes that. That is a very good thing.
Nice idea.
Pros:Seamless integration between the two
Cons:Google will fix this natively, so this becomes obsolete.
So easy to use, really happy with how much time this will save me
Pros:Itβs great
Cons:None
Seems ingenious and surprising no one else has thought of it before. I've signed up but am a little confused as to how it all works. Cannot find information other than posts on here, but those don't help explain the product.
Once signed up, 3 contacts appeared. Now what happens? Does it scan per email that comes in? Is it possible to go through all previous emails?
If there is a page of sorts which explains more, please send me a link π
